For this case we have the following expression.
\(15x + 35y - 40 z
\)
We must find a term of expression that is repeated in all terms.
We then have the number 5.
By doing common factor 5 in all the expression we have:
\(15x + 35y - 40 z = 5 (3x + 7y - 8z)
\)
Answer:
The factored expression is given by:
\(5 (3x + 7y - 8z)\)
